Cheap flights to Saudi Arabia

The vast country of Saudi Arabia encompasses the majority of the Arabian Peninsula and shares a border with the UAE. Home to two of Islam’s holiest cities, Saudi Arabia is also a country with a rich history with plenty of exciting opportunities for travelers. If you are interested in visiting heritage sites and ancient landmarks, there are two UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the Al Hijr Archeological Site and the At-Turaif District. Millions of Muslims flock to Mecca each year as part of the Hajj pilgrimage – Mecca itself is a busy city known as a center of culture in Saudi Arabia, while the sprawling city of Riyadh is another great city destination for travelers. While the Arabian Desert makes up a significant portion of the country as a whole, there are plenty of fun activities to do outdoors including camping and desert excursions if you are after an adventure.

If you are looking to travel to Saudi Arabia from the UAE, there are a large number of destinations in the country handling direct flights from the UAE. If you are in the UAE, the places you can travel to directly in Saudi Arabia are Jeddah, Dammam, Tabuk, Yanbu, Hail, Alahsa, Taif, Gassim, Abha, Jazan, Riyadh, Madinah and Jouf.

As a UAE national traveling to Saudi Arabia, you don’t need to worry about having a visa, although you will need to show a valid national ID card. The weather in the country is very hot on a similar level to the UAE with average temperatures exceeding 40 degrees during the summer months. However, temperatures can get surprisingly chilly at night over the winter months in some areas of the country, although you are unlikely to ever need a jacket.
